Go Native 70 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 There are no medical services in Niseko Hirafu itself but there's a couple of good clinics in Kutchan (15min away by car). None of the doctors in town speak good english but if you are coming in through a tour operator most of them offer medical translation services. Maybe your friend should get his doctor to write a description of his condition and then get a professional translation done back there in Aus that he could present to a doctor here if required.

quattro 1 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 This link may help. It's a list of doctors that supposedly speak English for the Hokkaido area. It is broken down by region and medical condition. http://www.qq.pref.hokkaido.jp/qq/qq01fnlgsp.asp Link to post Share on other sites
